Liu Yu and others led the team from the front, regardless of how dejected the Di Qin soldiers behind them were. Wang Mi was now concerned about another issue.
The ancient people's way of doing things was always casual, and they did not pay attention to rules and procedures. Even if they made rules, they would not be implemented perfectly.
Actually this is a big problem.
The lax way of doing things is not only seen in the issue of allocating surrendered troops. It can be said that it can be seen everywhere in military camps.
For example, the Jin army's personnel structure is called a team of 500 people. In fact, when broken down into each team, the personnel are often uneven.
Even if there is a shortage of personnel, they will not be replenished in time. Many times, they just wait for this team to fight down to a few people and then directly replenish the remaining soldiers to other teams.
Wang Mi broke down this operation method and explained it to Liu Yu in as simple and easy-to-understand terms as possible. Although he tried his best, Liu Yu still listened with little understanding. After thinking about it, he still couldn't understand it.
If someone goes to do it, no matter what, Wang Mi has to be pulled over.
…………
Outside Xiangyang City, Huikou area.
"Captain Zeng, it's not good!"
"The Qin soldiers fired secret artillery again!"
A group of soldiers rolled and crawled into Zeng Jing's military tent, but the leader Zeng Jing had already been startled by the earth-shattering sound of the stone cannon and rushed out of the military tent.
"what happened?"
"here we go again?"
Zeng Jing ran out of the military tent, and the first thing he saw was Wang Mi's face full of fear.
The Wang Mi in front of him was only half-dressed in his regular clothes, and his bun was messy.
Not long ago, a crashing sound fell from the sky and the sound was no different from an earthquake.
Although Wang Mi was well prepared, no one could bear the sudden loud noise in the quiet night when there were no mosquitoes around.
He got up from the bed in a panic, without even putting on his shoes, and ran out of the military tent. When he saw Zeng Jing, he immediately greeted him.
Zeng Jing lamented repeatedly: "Secretary Wang, you have seen that since our army was stationed at Huikou, Di Qin seemed calm on the surface and had no intention of taking back his words, but at night, they started to cause trouble."
"Secretary Wang has seen that the Qin soldiers mainly use stone cannons to attack our army."
Wang Mi tied up his clothes tightly and followed Zeng Jing to check the situation.
They came to a river bank area. Since warships were no longer parked here, Zeng Jing took charge and moved all the military tents along the river back half a mile.
On the one hand, the terrain here is flatter and more suitable for building military tents. On the other hand, because it is far away from the river bank, the humidity in the military tents is also reduced a lot.
And the annoying mosquitoes and flies that appeared in endless numbers day and night, constantly surrounding the soldiers, and because of the relocation of the military tents, no longer became a problem that troubled the soldiers stationed there.
"Zeng Jing, thank you!"
"If you hadn't moved the military tents back, all the soldiers would have suffered!"
Just on the edge of the winding river bank, among the soft mud and rock pits, a huge boulder as big as a giant tripod fell squarely there.
It was launched from Xiangyang City, and with its huge weight and the kinetic energy of falling from high altitude, it struck towards the bank of Huikou River.
With a loud noise, a pit deep enough for dozens of people to stand at the same time was created in the dirt.
Think about it, if such a huge boulder hits the military tent and falls on the heads of the soldiers, what kind of tragedy will it cause.
Seeing such a tragic situation, Wang Mi immediately took a breath of cold air.
horrible!
It seems that Fu Rui in that city is not just a fool. He still has a few sneaky and dirty tricks.
Wang Mi stepped into the deep pit and saw the huge stone standing there. At a rough glance, it was about the same size as him. The large hole on the ground was about as deep as a little finger.
"How exactly do they operate?"
"Is it just a cannon thrown back from the city?"
"Is it like this every night? Approximately how many stone cannons are thrown every night?"
This was Wang Mi's first time to see such a miraculous event, so he had many questions. Originally, he was in charge of the deployment of the war outside Xiangyang City, but it was nearing completion.
Now we just have to wait for Fort Victory to transfer all the weapons and equipment stored in the fort to the back entrance, and then the war can officially begin.
It was during this intense preparation that Wang Mi suddenly heard that something unusual had happened in the Huikou area.
Seeing that there was an underground tunnel exit closest to Xiangyang City in the back entrance area, Wang Mi immediately rushed here to check the situation.
"Indeed, a stone cannon is thrown every night, but the time is not fixed, it can happen at any time."
"Moreover, there is only this one every night. Ever since Di Qin started using this move, in the past few days, there have been a total of twenty or thirty soldiers in our army who have been injured and killed!"
"These Di people!"
"What an insidious thing that cannot be put on the table!"
"If you have the ability, you will fight with real swords and guns, but you only engage in provocation and trouble-making rogue behavior!" Wang Mi said angrily.
"Secretary Wang is so right!"
"These Di people are just rats in a hole in the ground, they can't see the light of day!"
provocative!
correct!
Listening to your words is like listening to your words!
Wang Mi Baba talked for a while, and the question that had been lingering in Zeng Jing's mind for a long time finally got the answer.
"Secretary Wang, now I finally understand. These Di people don't want to go to war with our army, but they don't want us to seize the retreat smoothly. They just use the convenience of the terrain to throw stone cannons every night.
It can have a certain effect of killing our troops, and it can also frighten our soldiers and prevent them from stationing here safely."
"Secretary Wang, are you right about being humble?"
Seeing that Wang Mi didn't speak for a long time and only stared at him, Zeng Jing became a little panicked. Did he talk too much?
Stealing Secretary Wang's limelight.
"That's right!"
"Captain Zeng, you are absolutely right!"
"These Di people are doing this with the mentality that killing a Beifu soldier will make a profit!"
"Even Fu Rui in that city doesn't have such a big pursuit of killing and wounding our soldiers. He does this just to disgust us and keep us in panic day and night."
Wang Mi stood up and jumped out of the pit neatly. He looked at the calm water. Since Zeng Jing said that the Qin soldiers would only throw one stone cannon every night, it meant that tonight was safe.
"Secretary Wang, what should we do?"
"Although their provocation will not cause great harm to our army, we can't just ignore it forever!"
Zeng Jing was anxious, but Wang Mi was even more anxious than him.
Why did Qin Bing do such boring and despicable things again and again?
Aren't you sure that the Jin army will not start a war just because of these few casualties?
For the two parties facing each other outside Xiangyang City, this is a critical moment. Outside the city, the generals of all armies are waiting for the other side to make the first move.
As the besieged party, Fu Rui hoped that the Beifu soldiers would show their tricks first, and then he would use them again.
However, for several days, the Beifu soldiers outside the city were as quiet as chickens.
This made Fu Rui, who was eager to change the status quo, feel like he was scratching his heart. After thinking about it, Fu Rui came up with such a damaging move.
They harass the Beifu soldiers every night, I don’t believe they can endure it!
